Intimina Lily Cup Size A - Thin Menstrual Cup, Period Cup with Up to 8 Hours Use

Product Information

If you need general menstrual cup help and information you can see all of my past videos and posts in the Reusable Feminine Care section. The maker of one of our picks, MeLuna, has a size calculator that accounts for your body size, whether you play sports, and whether you’ve had a vaginal birth, among other things. Using a cup or disc requires removing it when it’s full, pouring out the fluid, and then washing the cup before reinserting it. The main reason is that it won’t work for me on the heaviest days of my cycle and that the lack of firmness in the rim and the cup body don’t work well for ME.

We’ve tested more than 40 different menstrual cups and discs since 2016, and we’ve found that Cora’s The Easy-Does-It Cup is the best cup for first-time users because it’s easier than most to fold, insert, and remove. Please note, due to the intimate nature of this product, we are unable to accept exchanges or refunds on opened items, unless there is a manufacturing defect. Its incredibly smooth design and slanted rim allow you to use this menstrual cup for up to 12 hours without worries.

Plus, discs are likely to pose a lower risk of IUD expulsion (although there is no empirical data about that available yet). And because using a standard medical-model vagina wouldn’t really simulate the stretchiness and hug of the real thing, we invested nearly 12 hours in trying to build the most functionally realistic model possible.

Intimina’s menstrual cup range covers everything - from first-cup users to experienced women who have given birth vaginally. We’re awaiting the release of a cup from a new brand, Sunny, which promises to deliver a first-of-its-kind cup that users can insert with a device resembling a tampon applicator. The first few times you change it, you might want to do that where you don’t worry about leaving it like there was a serial killer in there,” said Gunter. In theory, you take out the NuvaRing to get your period, so you would just replace the ring with the cup. It's soft and flexible, so it can be a bit tricky to get to open at first, but I've got the hang of it now and I don't have many leaks anymore.If you end up trimming off a ball or loop, you’re essentially defeating the purpose of that whole setup. the difference was night and day the second i tried the lily cup :) the angled/narrow shape is much better suited to my (and i feel like most people’s? The challenge here may be that the cup can’t sit against your cervix the way it might without the ring in place—there is, after all, only so much space in your vagina—and that might make the seal less reliable. Another thing to know about discs is that due to their positioning up against the pubic bone, they can “auto-dump” or “self-empty” when you go to the bathroom, or any other time you bear down on your lower abdominal muscles.
